Thank you, Madam Chair. Yes, and it's similar rationale. So in this line item, we would have physicians that were impacted by the negotiated contract that were family physicians. We would also have collective agreement increases for staff supporting, you know, the work that happens in the clinics and the health centres through the ratification of the collective agreement with the UNW as well as we were able to allocate funding for some of those existing services that had been delivered in the health centres and the clinics that were contributing to the historical deficit in the authorities for a number of years. Specifically, we were working -- we've added a budget in this area to address increases for relocation, for supplies, for accommodations, for temporary staff and, yeah, that's the majority of it. Thank you, Madam Chair.
